Thanks Guido. Perhaps I should be explicit - why do +MANIFEST and +COMPACT_MANIFEST have a birthday of 1 Jan 1970 rather than the date/time it is actually created. Perhaps this is just another bug.

Strange that something as important as a package management system doesnt h=
ave up-to-date/accurate documentation. For example, this is the first item =
in google search for "FreeBSD pkg"
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html (useful for rudimenta=
ry use.=C2=A0 This is official=20
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pkgng-intro.html=
, both 23602 characters )
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg=C2=A0 which is inaccurate (MANIFEST is not i=
n UCL format)
https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng also inaccurate MANIFEST is not in YAML form=
at=20
Then I wonder what changes are planned and how can I advocate for FreeBSD t=
o other teams. But there is nothing to describe what changes are planned.
So I looked around.=C2=A0 Perhaps in bugzilla or github has some clues?=C2=
=A0 But now I find 336 open issues at
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues has 263 open issues
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=3D__open__&bug_sta=

losed issues
but there have been 4 releases in October 2020 and 7 in Sept
I worry that choosing FreeBSD might be a mistake.
This all started because I get=20
